The audio begins with the unmistakable flick of a Zippo lighter being opened. The metallic clink is crisp, resonating with a sense of a well-made object functioning perfectly. There's a brief pause, filled with anticipation before the striking sound of the flint wheel is heard. The scratchy, grinding noise is followed immediately by a soft, warm sound of a flame being ignited. The flame crackles and dances, its light subtly illuminating the surroundings. Its mesmerizing dance continues for a few moments before the metallic click of the lighter being closed resonates again. The flame is extinguished, leaving behind the faint after-sound of smoke hissing into the air. The audio ends leaving a sense of satisfaction that comes from using a perfectly designed object.
